Per the guidance in
https://llvm.org/docs/Atomics.html#atomics-and-ir-optimization,
an atomic load from a constant global can be dropped, as there can
be no stores to synchronize with. Any write to the constant global
would be UB.
IPSCCP will already drop such loads, but the main helper in Local
doesn't recognize this currently. This is motivated by D118387.

Currently the max alignment representable is 1GB, see D108661.
Setting the align of an object to 4GB is desirable in some cases to make sure the lower 32 bits are clear which can be used for some optimizations, e.g. https://crbug.com/1016945.
This uses an extra bit in instructions that carry an alignment. We can store 15 bits of "free" information, and with this change some instructions (e.g. AtomicCmpXchgInst) use 14 bits.
We can increase the max alignment representable above 4GB (up to 2^62) since we're only using 33 of the 64 values, but I've just limited it to 4GB for now.
The one place we have to update the bitcode format is for the alloca instruction. It stores its alignment into 5 bits of a 32 bit bitfield. I've added another field which is 8 bits and should be future proof for a while. For backward compatibility, we check if the old field has a value and use that, otherwise use the new field.
Updating clang's max allowed alignment will come in a future patch.

In LLVM IR, `AlignmentBitfieldElementT` is 5-bit wide
But that means that the maximal alignment exponent is `(1<<5)-2`,
which is `30`, not `29`. And indeed, alignment of `1073741824`
roundtrips IR serialization-deserialization.
While this doesn't seem all that important, this doubles
the maximal supported alignment from 512MiB to 1GiB,
and there's actually one noticeable use-case for that;
On X86, the huge pages can have sizes of 2MiB and 1GiB (!).
So while this doesn't add support for truly huge alignments,
which i think we can easily-ish do if wanted, i think this adds
zero-cost support for a not-trivially-dismissable case.
I don't believe we need any upgrade infrastructure,
and since we don't explicitly record the IR version,
we don't need to bump one either.
As @craig.topper speculates in D108661#2963519,
this might be an artificial limit imposed by the original implementation
of the `getAlignment()` functions.

This patch updates InstCombine to use poison constant to represent the resulting value of (either semantically or syntactically) unreachable instrs, or a don't-care value of an unreachable store instruction.
This allows more aggressive folding of unused results, as shown in llvm/test/Transforms/InstCombine/getelementptr.ll .

This canonicalization seems dubious.
Most importantly, while it does not create `inttoptr` casts by itself,
it may cause them to appear later, see e.g. D88788.
I think it's pretty obvious that it is an undesirable outcome,
by now we've established that seemingly no-op `inttoptr`/`ptrtoint` casts
are not no-op, and are no longer eager to look past them.
Which e.g. means that given
```
%a = load i32
%b = inttoptr %a
%c = inttoptr %a
```
we likely won't be able to tell that `%b` and `%c` is the same thing.
As we can see in D88789 / D88788 / D88806 / D75505,
we can't really teach SCEV about this (not without the https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47592 at least)
And we can't recover the situation post-inlining in instcombine.
So it really does look like this fold is actively breaking
otherwise-good IR, in a way that is not recoverable.
And that means, this fold isn't helpful in exposing the passes
that are otherwise unaware of these patterns it produces.
Thusly, i propose to simply not perform such a canonicalization.
The original motivational RFC does not state what larger problem
that canonicalization was trying to solve, so i'm not sure
how this plays out in the larger picture.
On vanilla llvm test-suite + RawSpeed, this results in
increase of asm instructions and final object size by ~+0.05%
decreases final count of bitcasts by -4.79% (-28990),
ptrtoint casts by -15.41% (-3423),
and of inttoptr casts by -25.59% (-6919, *sic*).
Overall, there's -0.04% less IR blocks, -0.39% instructions.

Summary:
Support for this option is needed for building Linux kernel.
This is a very frequently requested feature by kernel developers.
More details : https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/4/601
GCC option description for -fdelete-null-pointer-checks:
This Assume that programs cannot safely dereference null pointers,
and that no code or data element resides at address zero.
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks is the inverse of this implying that
null pointer dereferencing is not undefined.
This feature is implemented in LLVM IR in this CL as the function attribute
"null-pointer-is-valid"="true" in IR (Under review at D47894).
The CL updates several passes that assumed null pointer dereferencing is
undefined to not optimize when the "null-pointer-is-valid"="true"
attribute is present.

The instcombine code which folds loads and stores into their use types can trip up if the use is a bitcast to a type which we can't directly load or store in the IR. In principle, such types shouldn't exist, but in practice they do today. This is a workaround to avoid a bug while we work towards the long term goal.

Original Commit Message
Extend load/store type canonicalization to handle unordered operations
Extend the type canonicalization logic to work for unordered atomic loads and stores. Note that while this change itself is fairly simple and low risk, there's a reasonable chance this will expose problems in the backends by suddenly generating IR they wouldn't have seen before. Anything of this nature will be an existing bug in the backend (you could write an atomic float load), but this will definitely change the frequency with which such cases are encountered. If you see problems, feel free to revert this change, but please make sure you collect a test case.
Note that the concern about lowering is now much less likely. PR27490 proved that we already *were* mucking with the types of ordered atomics and volatiles. As a result, this change doesn't introduce as much new behavior as originally thought.

...)) and (load (cast ...)): canonicalize toward the former.
Historically, we've tried to load using the type of the *pointer*, and
tried to match that type as closely as possible removing as many pointer
casts as we could and trading them for bitcasts of the loaded value.
This is deeply and fundamentally wrong.
Repeat after me: memory does not have a type! This was a hard lesson for
me to learn working on SROA.
There is only one thing that should actually drive the type used for
a pointer, and that is the type which we need to use to load from that
pointer. Matching up pointer types to the loaded value types is very
useful because it minimizes the physical size of the IR required for
no-op casts. Similarly, the only thing that should drive the type used
for a loaded value is *how that value is used*! Again, this minimizes
casts. And in fact, the *only* thing motivating types in any part of
LLVM's IR are the types used by the operations in the IR. We should
match them as closely as possible.
I've ended up removing some tests here as they were testing bugs or
behavior that is no longer present. Mostly though, this is just cleanup
to let the tests continue to function as intended.
The only fallout I've found so far from this change was SROA and I have
fixed it to not be impeded by the different type of load. If you find
more places where this change causes optimizations not to fire, those
too are likely bugs where we are assuming that the type of pointers is
"significant" for optimization purposes.
